NOTICE Or those who arc about to build or repair. The umdersigned respectfully informs tfie public that he is duly authorised" to sell the Hight of the Johnson Re-acting Water wheel, to The counties of Monroe and Pike, patented the 22d day of June, A. D. 1840. The Johnson re-acting wheel is the beat now in use to propel a saw mill; it excels any other wheel in the United States under a low water head; under a head from 5 to 7 feel is suffi cient to cut from 2 to 3000 feet in twelre hours of inch or any other boards with ease. The wheels require, under a 7 foot head, 140 inches of water and so in proportion to any other head. Under a 7 foot head, the Saw will make from 200 to-250 strokes per minute. The advan tage which those wheels hare over any other wheels is, that it requires but four posts to make ihe fioom or bulk head; the wheels are hnng on the crank -shaft. Two wheels are what is re quired for-a Saw mill, and the posts planked in side the same as a pen stock. I hare built one of those mills this season, on the Roaring Brook, in Luzerne county, for Mr. S. P. Tem nlm. under about a 7 foot head, winch will cut from 3 to 4000 in twelve hours of inch boards; therefore, 1 can recommend them as the best wheels now in operation. There are several more mills in that part, all under low heads, which answers the same purpose as that of Mr. Temphns. For further information, please call on the subscriber. FERDINAND DUTOT. Agent.

Suf fice it to say they possess all the PURGATIVE AND PURIFYING properties that can be combined in the form of Pills. NEWSPAPER PUFFING ia unnecessary to their success. Their efficacy, in one case, is a sure intro duction and passport of them to a thousand. FIVE YEARS Employment of them throughout the United States,' have made them as they deserve to be VICTORIOUS! Whilst tho Proprietors and Manufacturers of other Pills, have been endeavoring to humbug the people in various ways to introduce their Pills, publishing columns of matter and bol stering them up by MADE, FALSE, LYING CERTIFICATES, and attributing to their Pills the powers of ef fecting every thing, barely excepting tho RESTORATION OF THE DEAD TO LIFE. Dr. LEIDY has allowed his Blood Pills to become known by their effects; thus establish ing them a character that can never be taken from them, and which is proof incontrovertible of their qualities. Most other Pills have gone out of use since their introduction; many have fallen into dis repute, and some are now altogether unknown; still a few hamrcrs-on endeavor to gull the ig norant by plausible (though false) reasoning of the extraordinary powers tlieir rills possess; but the public are fully sensible of such impo sition. DR. N. B. LEIDY is a regular Physician and Druggist, attested by Doctors Physic, Chapman, Jackson, De wees, Horner, Gibson, Coxe, Hare, Parrish, James, Robert, Adrain, L. L. D.; T. L. Biddle, esq..

Dalancy, &c. &c. and well knows the nature of the ingredients contained in his BLOOD PILLS, and knows too their adaptation in all cases where a purgative is re- Quired, or for purifying the Blood. There is no risk or danger in employing them, they contain no Mercury they do not produce inflamation of the Bowels-they do not pioduce disorganization of, nor do they injure the digestive funciions they do not produce the Piles they do not produce irregularity of the Bowels, or costivencss, as do other pills; on the contrary, they will be found to obviate all the forgoing, besides being etlicacious in all cases where a purgative may be necessary, and for purifying the Blood and Animal i'luids. So many recommendations of them having been published from time to time, certificates from the North, South, East and West, editorial comments on their character, CfC. 6fc. mat it is deemed useless to say much more of lhcm.

JFrigktf tit Suafec Stcry. The following incident was related :o in tho other day, by one whose veracity is unquediion ed. and who was an eye witfiess" of ihe fuel. It is more appalling than any we recotincno uav ever read in the hi&rory of these reptiles. Someiirne last summer, the inhabitants tu Manchester, Missiippi, gave a li.rtiac which was attended by nn)t ol the la-muii ana beautv of thfc town a:.d surrouniling omihtv. It happeiiLMf iha( among the guests there t voting l:.dv, Ml- M. rpcentlv fron7 !; uM'rt Eastern vntv ho" was nr a visit to hr rei t tiohs in the neighbnrhnod of the town. Mi- M. was a gav and KXireiriely fashionaMe young lady, and withal possessed an uncom mon share oispint ami courage; except mi jixj matter of snakes and of thseshe had so great a dread thai she scarcely dared to walk any where except in the moat frequented placn-, for fear of encountering them. Eery effort vrris used but without avail, to rid hr.r of hr childish fear9. They haunird her continually. until at last it became tho settled conviction l her mind thai 3he was destined to fall a victim to' the fangs' of a rattlesnake. The sequel will show how aobn hfcr terrible prcsentimRir. was fulfilled. Towards the close of the day, while scores of fairy feel wero keeping time in the dance m the music and the whole company were in tho full tide of enjoyment, a scream was h?a r J from MiSs M. followed by the most agonizing cri for help. The crowd gathered round her in stantly, 3nd beheld her standing, the perfect image of despair, with her hands grasping a portion of her dress with the tenacity of a vice. It was sometime before she could bo rendered sufficiently calm to tell the cause of her alarm, and then they gathered from her broken excla mations that she was grasping the head of a sHake among the folds oj her dress, and dreaded to let go her hold for fear of rocciring the fatal blow ! This intelligence caused many lo shrink from her, but the mo3t of the ladies to their ho nor be it told, remained with her, determined not to leave her in her direful extremity. They besought her not to relax her hold, as safety depended upon it, until some one could be found who had the courage to seize and re move the terrible animal. There wero none of the ladies, however who had the courage to perform the act, and the condition of Miss M. was becoming more and more critical every moment. It was evident that her strength was failing very fast, and that she could not mantain her hold many minutes longer. A hasty consultation among the calmest of the ladies was held, when it was determined that Dr. Tisati who was presentshould be cai- 1 eu to tneir assistance, ne was uh-ivij t . 1 i II . n rtiiil'lir rn the spotj and being a man of uncommon cou- he was not many moments wimin tne circle of the weeping and half-faiuiing females until he had caught the tail of the snake, and wound it firmly around his band to mate sure of his hold. Ho then told Miss JH. mat sne must let go at the moment ho jerked u away and to make tho act as instantaneous as pos sible he told her that he would pronounce the words ono, two, three, and that at the moment he pronounced the last word sho must let go her hold, and he doubted not that he could withdraw the snake before it could havo time to strike. All stood in breathles horror, awaiting the act of life or death, and at the moment Hie uoru inn-u was jnuuuuu- ced, ihe Dr. jVtkeu out ilm largest and most diabolical looking bu.stle that was ever seen in Mississippi. Thi whole affair was at once explained. The fastt-ning of the machinehad become loose during the dancing, and it bad shifted its position in such a way that it dan gled about the ladies limbs, and induced the o . i . belief that it was a snaKe witn an ononuuua head. The Doctor fell right down in his tracks, and fainted he did. Miss. Jour. Straw ! Straw !
